Eaton SMART700HG – Medical-Grade Line-Interactive Tower UPS

Product Overview

The Eaton SMART700HG is a medical-grade UPS for patient-care AV equipment, fully compliant with UL 60601-1 when plugged into a hospital-grade outlet. It delivers 700VA/450W of line-interactive battery backup with hospital-grade NEMA 5-15R-HG outlets suited to nurse call displays, patient monitoring stations, and other electronics installed in or near patient-care vicinities. As a hospital-grade UPS for healthcare AV systems, it combines a built-in isolation transformer with automatic voltage regulation to deliver clean, isolated power in clinical environments where equipment safety certification matters.

Product Description

The SMART700HG is built around a hospital-grade design standard, carrying UL 60601-1 compliance for use in patient-care vicinities as well as EN60601-1-2:2015 and IEC60601-1-2:2014 4th Edition certifications. This UL 60601-1 compliant UPS tower is equipped with a built-in isolation transformer and Faraday shield, which provides full electrical isolation and removes common-mode noise while maintaining surge suppression across all four hospital-grade NEMA 5-15R-HG outlets. Line-interactive voltage regulation corrects brownouts as low as 81V and overvoltages as high as 143V back to a nominal 120V output without switching to battery power, preserving runtime for genuine outages. At half load (225W), the unit provides up to 42 minutes of runtime, or 18 minutes at full load (450W), giving clinical and facilities staff time to complete an orderly shutdown or ride through a short utility interruption. The hospital-grade NEMA 5-15P-HG input plug and 6-foot cord are designed to mate with hospital-grade receptacles found in clinical buildings. USB and DB9 serial ports support integration with facility monitoring systems. This medical-grade line-interactive UPS with isolation transformer is intended for patient-care vicinity equipment and adjacent AV/IT electronics in healthcare facilities, including workstations, monitors, and communication equipment operating near patients.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the SMART700HG require a special outlet to maintain its certification?

Yes, the unit is UL 60601-1 compliant for patient-care vicinities only when its NEMA 5-15P-HG plug is connected to a genuine hospital-grade outlet.

Can this UPS be used for non-medical commercial AV equipment?

Yes, while designed for healthcare settings, the line-interactive voltage regulation and isolation transformer also benefit sensitive AV and IT equipment in any commercial installation requiring clean, isolated power.

How does the isolation transformer help connected equipment?

The built-in isolation transformer with Faraday shield removes common-mode electrical noise and provides full isolation from the input circuit, reducing interference for sensitive monitoring and communication equipment.

What monitoring options are available for integration with facility systems?

USB and DB9 serial ports allow connection to facility monitoring software or building management systems for status polling and automated shutdown.

What warranty does this UPS carry?

The SMART700HG carries a 2-year limited warranty from the manufacturer. Contact Creation Networks for registration and support details.

How much runtime should I expect during a power outage?

Runtime depends on load: approximately 42 minutes at half load (225W) and 18 minutes at full load (450W), sufficient for orderly shutdown procedures during a prolonged outage.
